John Williams and "The President's Own," Vol. 3

20268.559966-67Woodwinds

Legendary composer for stage and screen John Williams has admired the United States Marine Band (“The President’s Own”) since childhood, and in recent decades, the maestro and ensemble’s mutual admiration has deepened amidst a series of collaborations marking the group’s major anniversaries. The culmination of this twenty-year relationship was Williams’s return to conduct the band’s 225th anniversary gala concert in July 2023 at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — the performance captured here in the third album of the collaboration issued by Naxos of America. The program features selections from Williams’s iconic scores for the films Jurassic Park, Lincoln, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Star Wars, and 1941.
